Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE (1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2WD) MADE A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATED FOR A FEW SECONDS, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR UNTIL I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP WHERE THE HOOKED UP A MACHINE TO SEE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE MACHINE TOLD THEM IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION SHIFT SILENOID. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE IN MY VEHICLE FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I THEN HAD TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP HAVE AN EXPENSIVE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 97,000 MI. I SHOPPED AROUND AT SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS VERY COMMON IN CHEVY/GMC SUBURBAN'S AND TRUCKS MADE FROM 1997-2000. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WHY ISN'T GM RECALLING THE VEHICLES FOR REPAIRS?*AK
